Big plays and it’s time

The Cardinals have been on the brink of getting the ball completed on big plays from point a to point b.  A long pass to Christian Kirk was on the money on Sunday only to see Kirk drop it.  Murray put it in a perfect spot.

Expect more big plays against the Seahawks from Murray. They have been there, now they just need to execute.

Also, it’s just time.  A new era for the Cardinals at quarterback and a new head coach.  Its time.  Since 2012, in Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson‘s first career game, is how long its been since the Cardinals have defeated the Seattle in Glendale.

Sure, there was the infamous 6-6 tie in 2016.  Neither team wanted to win that one and honestly, no one deserved to.

Wilson lost that 2012 game but has not lost in Arizona since, well to the Cardinals anyway.  We all know what happened in Super Bowl 49 in January 2016.

But it’s just time.  The Cardinals came close last September and should have won that one.  The Cardinals are 4 point underdogs on Sunday but it should be close.
